CLEVELAND — Most of NE Ohio will remain dry for the rest of the evening into the overnight, but a stray t-shower will be possible. Lows will bottom out in the mid 60s for most.
An air quality alert has been issued for Cuyahoga, Lake, Ashtabula, Medina, Lorain, Summit, Geauga, and Portage Counties until midnight on Monday night. A large area of wildfire smoke has migrated into the midwest and is visible on satellite maps. The smoke looks to continue to drift southeast and expected to stick around Northern Ohio tonight and linger through at least Monday, but will more than likely stick around into Tuesday. Those of you with respiratory issues will need to monitor how you are feeling and limit outdoor time on Monday and possibly Tuesday.
Unsettled weather continues into next week with scattered storms returning on Monday, as a cold front moves into the region. Isolated stronger storms will be possible during the afternoon into the evening. We will then see isolated chances for storms on Tuesday; with a brief break on Wednesday, before more rain chances return Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will remain slightly below seasonal norms for most of the next 7 days.

- Stray t-shower overnight
